President’s Corner - November 2015
Upcoming events include our regular club meeting on November19, 2015 at The Hearth as well as the
Trooper’s Toy Drive on Sunday December 6th- Bennett Automotive in New Milford is the starting point.
The caravan will leave at 9:30 AM and drive to the Trooper’s Barracks at exit 14 on Rte 84 in
Southbury, CT. The club will pick up about $300 of new toys for needy families. Any members who can
also find some extra gifts (new toys only) are encouraged to do so.
Please arrive at Bennett Automotive by 9: AM on that Sunday to be lined up for the caravan. Use the
South side of the parking areas-like last year. Thanks to Neil Platt for all of his help in this event. He has
been instrumental in this drive for years and his efforts have been excellent.
December, Christmas/Holiday Dinner at Chuck’s steak house-3rd Thursday in the month (12/17/2015) at
Chuck’s in Danbury in their front room across from the bar. The cost is $32.00 and it includes all
charges. The food is excellent and it should be an enjoyable time again for all.
Please confirm with Sui and Joe.
On January 16th the CVCC will hold the annual Winter Dinner at Michael’s at the Grove (formerly
Capallaro’s Grove) in Bethel, CT-located near Bethel Health care facility. This is the same location as
last year. It was very enjoyable last year and this year should be the same.
I hope all have a wonderful and very Happy Thanksgiving. Can you believe that this season has flown
by so fast? Thanks to all who have made this year such a success. As the membership has shown, the
more people who help-the better the program for all. BB

front room. Treasurer Kirk Narick gave his report (is filed). Membership Chair, Mike Bennett, said that
the dues statements will be going out as soon as the club decides on the new amount.
President Burkardt made his comments which included a mention of the December 6 Toy Drive
from New Milford to the State Troopers Barracks in Southbury, Exit 14 on I-84. He also asked if we
still wanted a January Banquet at Michael’s in the Grove. The decision to move ahead with plans for
that was unanimous. Nina Zschunke will take charge. Neil Platt sent news about a possible visit to the
collector car garage in Katonah, NY for either Nov. 1st, 8th, or 15th.

Corvette to Set a New World Record Cruising
the Tail of the Dragon
Posted on Oct 23, 2015
By Luz Boyer
From “Corvette Online” News
The
“Tail of the Dragon,” is an iconic 11-mile stretch of Highway 129 located south of Knoxville, Tennessee. It is
considered one of the world’s most famous destinations for driving enthusiasts who flock to it annually looking for
a thrill ride. In its 11-mile span, the Tail of the Dragon boasts 318 curves! Every curve is unique with some banked
corners like a race track, off-camber twists, and decreasing radius corners.
39
November 2015
On October 16th, 2015 and during the 38th Annual Corvette
Expo, the Tail of the Dragon was host to more than 400 Corvette owners looking to set a world record for the
most Corvettes cruising the famous highway. According to WVLT Local 8 News, Corvette Expo owner Byron
Cooper stated, “We got cars from 8,900 miles away driving here for the event and to cruise the Dragon.” On
the interview, Cooper also stated, “There is no record, so we’ll set the record and that will give us something to
play off for years.”
According to GM Authority, 423 Corvettes, mostly C4, C6, and C7 models participated in last weekend’s Tail of
the Dragon Cruise. Among the 423 participants there were three C1 Vettes, two 1957s and a 1959.
Participants reported that it was an amazing sight as car aficionados from all over North America drove their
Corvettes to support the 38th Annual Corvette Expo, and cruise the Tail of the Dragon for the first world record.
The application has been submitted to Guinness, but the record is not official yet. Due to the success of the event,
Expo coordinators stated that they would not be surprised if the number of Corvette participants doubles next
year.
